United States Senatorship. This is one
J, short of the number necessary to elect.
Hardly. however, had the Democrats
begun to rejoice over their victory be-
fore "A new trouble arose. Mr.. McDer-
mitt, Democrat, moved to deelart the
Speakership vacant. His colleagues
thought This uLwisc and a motion 10
table was carried.
Nj. McDermilt wildly declared that
he would not now vote with the Demo-
Gratis for Senator. l. is not thought,
however. that lac Will persist in this
| resolution. Before adjournment
Messrs. Donohue, Mclaughlin Carroll,
Barrett and Condit were appointed IA
standing committee on Labor aud III
dustries. Adjourned until Monday.
The Legislature having adjourned
till Monday, a truce is declared in the
Senatorial battle The Senate will
probably organize next Monday Or
Tuesday, and the joint meeting for the
election Of a Senator will be held two
weeks afterward. The Republican
were somewhat alarmed over a rumOr
that the Democratic Senators would try
to effect an organ izatiOn of the Senate
Thursday, and all the Republican Sena-
tors with the exception of Gardner put
in AN appearance in the chamber IN the
afternoon. Those holding over AN
swered to roll-cail, ana adjourned ul-
iii morning when one OF two Senators
will appear aud adjourn again to Nom
day night.
There are twelve Republican and
MIN Democratic Senators, but seven o
them being newly elected have not
been sworn in yet. The Republicans
contend that the Democrats are power
Tess themselves To effect an organiza-
ton.
Governor Albeit was in Trenton ou
Thursday conleriIg with leading Demo-
Gratis. He appears cheerful and said
te is HOW almost certain ol victory.
His jubilation over Ciie seating Of Wal

State -Comptl oller Anderson and
State Treasurer Totfey (Repubilcan
ieaders) went to Washington Thursday
10 confer with Senator Sewell and 9th
er Republicans there as to the ''plan of
caupaigu'' for next week. The set
back Of the Republicans i'll Wednes-
day's fight has somewhat denoralized
their forces, and many of them ac-
knowledge that their chances for the
election of It Senator are very slim.
The Democrats grow more confident
every hour.

A VeritabIe wild Cat.

For sometime it has been reported
mostly In a %jocular way, that a wild
cat is rowing in the woods below Penns-
grove. About three weeks ago James
b. Summerill saw a strange looking
animal, larger than a dog cross hia
path one evening in Cove lane.
"Fan" Hutchinson and ais young
daughter of James Hutchinson report
that they have seen this strange AMI
NAL in Garnet Summerill's woods, that
it is four or five feet long and of a
brown color. Some persons in the
n~eighborhOOd OF the Cove and the
Forked Hickory have heard the screech
of some animal unknown to this sec
ton. David shrimp, who has heard
the screech of wild cats i'll Virginia.
says the noise he heard resembles that
Of q wild cat. Others have seen its
tracks. On Thursday we had occasion
to travel u by-path through Garnet
Summerill's woods and saw the tracks
resembling those of the feline species,
but much larger,than any dogs tracks,
imprinted in the snow. The imprint
of the foot showed four sharp promi-
nent toe nails and measured II and
a half inches wide and four inches long.
The tracks where the animal had walk
cd were one and a half and three and a
half feet apart. No animal common
to this section would make such tracks
aud with the evidence known a wild
cat must be in the neighborhood, if it
has not left recently. 1t has not been
over three months ago since a wild cat
five feet long was shot near Fortesque.

Prohibition is now the most peril
nent issue of the day. Democrats
and republicans are alike fighting for
the amendment. 1t is talked on our
streets, in our homes, at ali public
gatherings. and ministers of the gospel
are fighting for it in their pulpit, wo-
men have buckled ON the armor and
gone into the ARRAY, and are doing
wonders for the cause. Big barbecues,
rallies iand public speaking for the
great cause is now the order of the
day. The greatest and grandest day
for Tennessee is when her sons will
march in one solid phalanx to the
ballot box and vote "for the amend
ment," and thus wipe out the blot up
on her fair name. The fiat has gone
forth that the saloons must fOrev Ell
close their doors after the 29th day
